  1. one of the reasons git won was due to tools like git-svn and the cvs equivalent, which made those horrible tools usable for doing merges, and providing git mirroring. this made the git ui standard, and made migrating to git as the vcs easy.

  2. ​ @nosbig98 i actually remember when you got the nightly dev zip file, created your patches, submitted them by email, and reviewed them using either mailing lists or irc. i also remember version control using rcs, before cvs came out. things are much easier now.
